Bought this. What am I in for?

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 12:36:11 2020 No.16839086 I never see Powys mentioned here. One of my favorite authors, one of the few I’ve read just about everything by. Just go in blind.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 12:44:07 2020 No.16839144 >>16839086 Sell me on him.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 12:45:30 2020 No.16839156 >>16839144 He's right. It's best if you read him without any expectations.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 12:47:56 2020 No.16839177 >>16839019 The fact that he’s been largely ignored by academics this whole time should be a selling point. IMO one of the last authors to live who truly had a passion for literature.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 12:52:53 2020 No.16839210 >>16839156 Not much of a selling point.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 13:01:36 2020 No.16839258 >>16839248 A unique reading experience. You won't find anyone like him.

Christ people. His shits on libgen, just open up a pdf and read the first few pages. If it doesn’t click then you won’t like the rest of it because he doesn’t let up. For the few he does click with, he’s the only author who can scratch that itch.

This isn’t that hard.

i can find a lot of his early and later works, but there are no quality editions of the wessex series or his welsh books, porius or owen glendower, just garbled conversions of pdfs.

does no one have copies of the books from the amazon store by the powys society?

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 18:31:38 2020 No.16841472 >>16840398 it's new for 30 dollardoos on amazon

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 18:36:03 2020 No.16841506 >>16841472 Not in bongland. Plenty of used ones though, I ordered one.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 18:37:34 2020 No.16841514 >>16841506 I'm in burgerland

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 18:43:41 2020 No.16841555 >>16841514 I know. I'm in bongland and it's not on amazon here.

>>	Anonymous Sat Nov 21 18:45:44 2020 No.16841572 >>16841555 Oh I thought you said you weren't in bongland I misread. And that doesn't make sense Powys is a bong writer he should be in print there desu.
